I remember how truly happy I was as a young teen, laying in the sunlight on my bedroom carpet, listening to my own private music on my own private nano, and playing game after game of solitaire
I totally forgot about these! The only one I had was Sonic on my 4th Gen iPod Nano. I didn’t play it very much and I don’t remember it being very good at all. I got an iPod Touch not long after. Thanks for the video!
as someone who back then used less than reputable sources to get music, trying to do that music quiz when everything was called track 1, track 2, track 3 etc was impossible!
I remember spending hours upon hours upon hours renaming and filling n every detail I could to fix this issue. Then software finally came out to do it automatically fairly well. The days I wasted will always dread my memories. Kids these days just have no idea.
(Sure, it's 3 years later since your message, but I was just thinking about iQuiz and found this video 😊) Sorry about that experience with "Track 1", "Track 2" Etc - LOL. I was the developer who worked on iQuiz and the game did the best it could with the meta data available. I was pretty excited about having access to cover art and showing that in-game. Anyway, I never really tested with missing meta data - D'oh! The other thing that's not so fun is playing iQuiz with someone else's music that's not your jam. Early days I would hand off a ready-to-play iPod for a high up person to try out, but I think it was not so fun for them 'cause it was all my music.
The one game I was you had hit on was Song Summoner. It was a fleshed out Final Fantasy Tactics style RPG where you spawned characters based on songs in your library. I loved it growing up
Vortex was my favorite and the mechanics were great. It was a brick breaker game built around the click wheel, so your paddle was positioned around a circular edge and you had to break through circular walls of bricks until you reached the center. You could set it so that scrolling clockwise would move the paddle clockwise OR so your paddle would zoom to wherever you touched the click wheel. I got so good at it
Same! I loved that game and played it nightly for weeks. Ended up find a hack in it when you are playing against the AI. If you offer a trade to the AI, its select screen always flashes on screen for a second before yours. If you hit menu on yours it takes you back to the AI's selection screen and you can make it give you whatever you want! This basically ruined normal play for me.
@Hamboarding would you still have the IPG file and iTunes account details? We have a project trying to preserve all iPod Classic clickwheel games and this might be a good way to help So far we have 3/52 games preserved
I was always weirdly into semi-crappy technology as a child, even old outdated pocket dictionaries and things. I had an iPod nano as a child and there's a special kind of magic these games had for me that they still have when I see them and I feel like is hard to capture in anything else. These clickwheel games were the coolest thing in the world to me as a child and I spent too many hours playing Cake Mania on the clickwheel. Wish I could still access these!
I used to have Sonic the Hedgehog on my IPod Nano back in the day. From what I remember, it ran almost flawlessly, despite the fact that whenever you'd hold down the crouch button for more than a second, the game would close, which lost all your progress. Pretty fun tho.
@@emmastarr5242 I'm not the original person you're responding to, but yes, it does still work. None of the software updates have removed support for games, and Sonic was one of the best games I had on my iPod. It's the reason I still keep my 5th gen iPod charged haha
Holy shit I was trying to remember what that game was called throughout the entire video but couldn't think of it. That game was so much fun. I played it constantly when I had to go somewhere with my parents back in the day haha
There was a circular brick breaking game (that I think was called vortex?) that came standard on my little red iPod nano that my dad bought me for Christmas in highschool. Because the layout was circular and you had to move your paddle on a circular track, using the clickwheel was actually surprisingly intuitive. I spent a lot of my school commutes playing that one.
I used to play this so much! It was so fun! There’s something satisfying about the tactile experience of controlling the paddle with the wheel that I’m not sure I’ve gotten from anything else
I actually beat all of Sonic on my iPod Classic, it wasn't too bad if I recall. I actually really enjoyed it, if the controls were a bit funky at times. To this day it's the only Sonic game I've ever completed. Good memories. It was during a season of my life where I was too young to have a job and buy a new console. And both ny older brothers had "out grown" video games, so my parents didn't want to buy any new consoles. So I was starved of new games.
I beat Sonic on my iPod classic too. But I play Sonic the hedgehog at least a few times a year still. It's a great classic game that is always fun to revisit. IMO you don't need a excuse to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog in present day.
My mom had a Nokia brick phone and I would be an annoying little shit and “borrow” it all the time to play some kind of side scrolling version of space invaders. I guess that’s my favorite purely because of “fond” memories. I also had 3 generations of tamagotchi in the 2000s relaunch.
Space Impact!!! That was the only reason why I inherited an old Nokia 3310 from my family even though I had a much newer (for the time) Sony Ericsson phone
I remember that game! My mom used to have that brick phone too and I remember enjoying playing that, Bacgammon and Snake between hers and my dad's brick phone (just slightly newer than my mom's lol)
I had forgotten about Space Impact! When I was little it was too hard for me, so I stuck to Snake. But once I inherited mom's Nokia Brick around age 12, I mastered it.
The music quiz game was actually a lot of fun, my friends would swap iPods to try each other's quizzes. It only ever pulled from like the same 20 songs, and if you had an audio book it would find it and use it in the game. It made things weird. Solitaire on my nano (the gen where the case was a single piece of metal) helped me get through hoom room and the long bus ride home.
Adding another game to the list: Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes; made by Square Enix. Is a tactical game where the units are created based on the songs on your library. (You could also play it on iPhone too but not anymore either)
YES. i was terrible at the actual gameplay, but the idea of being able to build a unique team of characters with really nice artwork from my own music was really fun. i spent most of my time literally just painstakingly choosing songs like it actually mattered and seeing what they would summon. pretty sure my ipod still has the game on it
Song Summoner was my jam when I was younger! It was a Tactics RPG where you could summon new units with your music on your IPod Nano. It was really good from what I remember
“What was your favorite mobile game before smartphones existed?” I remember on my old cellphone there was a poker game that told you the probability of you winning with a specific hand. It helped me learn a lot about poker and is probably the source of my love for the game.
My dad still has his IPod that he uses for working out whenever he needs a nostalgia boost. I remember getting my hands on it as a kid and being wowed about a 3D brick breaker (it had a top down perspective so you launched it into the air) and showing dad.
I remember playing Song Summoners on my old 30 gig Ipod. It was basically Final Fantasy Tactics but with a different world and enemies. The way you made your team was by uploading the songs IN your library into the game. They then turned into soldiers with different abilities. The coolest gimic was if the song had the word Hero or Super Hero in the title then the monster soldier thing was more rare and more powerful. It to my middle school/ high school mind had a very fun and interesting stories but i never beat it because it drained my battery.
Man, many a high school hours were wasted with my iPod video. Invader ZIM episodes illegally downloaded, mastering solitaire, all under my desk. No wonder I averaged a 60%.
Oh man I remember at some point having to tape headphones into place to even use it because it was so beat up. It was like, a stupid amount of gigs at the time. I had a lot of Dane Cook comedy skits on there too. Jesus Christ, I’m dating myself so badly.
I fondly remember a game called Song Summoners made by Square Enix, that I had on my 5th gen iPod nano. It was a full fledged JRPG with a pretty neat story. The gimmick of the game was that you fought using troops that were generated from the music you had in your library. And they're stats, type, and rarity were all dependant on the song you used to make it. I know once the iPod touch came out, they released a new version of the game with a slightly altered story. But I have no idea if either version has been preserved
Also, the 4th & 5th generation iPod Nano had a game called Maze. It was just like one of those little plastic/cardboard ball mazes you could get at chuck e cheese. You would tilt the iPod in the direction you wanted the ball to roll. Since those two iPods were the only ones with both a click wheel and an accelerometer, the game was never available on any other iPods.
Sonic on the iPod classic actually played weirdly well, at least at the time. The only game I truly miss though is Phase. That game ruled, and syncing to your music was really really cool
My iPod video was one of my favorite things I owned when it was appropriate for its time I.e. before smartphones. I didn’t dip to heavily in games but having an MP3 player I could also watch shows and movies on and play games on when bored, mostly solitaire felt so futuristic at the time. I also remember when The Onion made a satire news report about Apple’s new MacBook at the time having the entire keyboard replaced with just one giant clickwheel
Same thought I had a few days ago on another one of his videos. Great 90s / early 2000s nostalgia content. UA-cam recommendations actually does its job every once in a while.
Song Summoner ist most definitely missing on this list. A squareenix RPG that turned your songs into fighters in a FF tactics like game with an interesting story.
Klondike was by far my favourite title on that thing. It's what got me into other traditional card games. (I was already playing shit like Pokemon and Yugioh) Also, I love that you mentioned Scott Pilgrim on your Xbox. It's still installed on my PS3 xd
I spent hours on Peggle on my iPod, the click wheel was absolutely perfect for it. I repurchased it for PS3 or PS4 some years ago and it was nowhere as good playing on a regular control. Another game by Popcap called Zuma was also pretty fun for an iPod game.
I fondly remember playing Parachute for an ungodly number of hours. Also, it seemed the kids at the school I went to only cared about Solitaire, and it was a game in of itself to win from 1st period and see who won at lunch. Ah, memories.
I had an iPod nano and i never had a console and only played flash games. But I saw sonic on itunes for the iPod, I don’t remember how it played but it was my first step into triple A games, I finished 7 times I loved it so much. Nothing can compare to it. Loved the vid :)
Actually you would be very surprised about Sonic on the iPod. It didn't run as fast as it would on a Genesis, but it was so a non-issue and it play perfectly fine. My uncle downloaded Sonic for his classic iPod and it was awesome.
This channel is great, half of the topics I haven’t even heard of but he still makes it compelling to me. Ipod click wheel games? And a whole video about them?? Yes please!
I love your videos around the holidays because as a kid, that's when I'd get my hands on much of the media and toys you talk about. Peak nostalgia. Billiam is a Christmas movie. Let's discuss.
I thought you were gonna touch on Vortex. It was a bar that you used the touch weel to spin around the screen and make a marble bounce on bricks on the ceiling. if you didnt "catch" the marble on time and it fell in the abyss you lost. My favorite game :)
what make it good and trendy the ipod was the great storage and the use of the AAC standart, it is a better compresion of the mp3 format, so that make possible having a shitton of songs on a single device, and also you could bought songs legally. it doesn't sounds as important but it was the doing it in the right way, if you don't belive me check the wrong way, microsoft zune.
I actually like the ball and pad game that it came with. Was a pretty good pass time game and I often found myself playing for longer than I planned Edit: The one that went in a full circle
I had Song Summoner on my classic but it stopped working like 5 years ago :( it was neat, kinda like monster rancher where you could summon monsters with the songs in your library and use them to battle. I remember the battle system being sort of like fire emblem?
You sir, are my hero. at 6:23, you are playing Cubis. A game i used to play on my moms PC when i was like 8. And for some reason, it popped back into my mind for no real reason. And i couldnt remember the name of it and it drove me crazy. And here, on a UA-cam video, i find my salvation. Thank you good sir. Also good luck with only having 1 kidney now.

Who is this, why was this on my recommended, and why do I wanna shake UA-cam’s hand for introducing me to great content?
If you were born in the early 90's your home basically
Same thought I had a few days ago on another one of his videos. Great 90s / early 2000s nostalgia content. UA-cam recommendations actually does its job every once in a while.
Song Summoner ist most definitely missing on this list. A squareenix RPG that turned your songs into fighters in a FF tactics like game with an interesting story.
Omfg! That game was big an by the team behind Final Fantasy
I loved this game!!!
That brick breaker game where you go in a circle was literally my whole childhood dude
" Cubis 2 - one of the launch games for the iPod "
a sentence i thought i would never ever hear
Bob’s journey on the sidekick was a classic. Speaking of sidekicks, you should do a video about them?! 🤔🤔
Sonic was actually pretty good. I beat it on my nano. I remember having to switch to control scheme B to make it playable though
Klondike was by far my favourite title on that thing. It's what got me into other traditional card games. (I was already playing shit like Pokemon and Yugioh)
Also, I love that you mentioned Scott Pilgrim on your Xbox. It's still installed on my PS3 xd
Billiam, I actually had the Sonic the Hedgehog game on my old iPod. It was nice!
Yeah it wasn't as hard as I expected it to be.
I spent hours on Peggle on my iPod, the click wheel was absolutely perfect for it. I repurchased it for PS3 or PS4 some years ago and it was nowhere as good playing on a regular control. Another game by Popcap called Zuma was also pretty fun for an iPod game.
That wamuu reference caught me off guard I had to watch it twice to make sure I was hearing u right lol
I did the exact same thing!
AWAKEN MY MASTERS
I’m watching this on my iPod 6th generation lol.

Is it a touch or a classic
The kernel touch

I never had an ipod, i was one of those kids who got a dsi for their birthday.
I fondly remember playing Parachute for an ungodly number of hours. Also, it seemed the kids at the school I went to only cared about Solitaire, and it was a game in of itself to win from 1st period and see who won at lunch. Ah, memories.
I had an iPod nano and i never had a console and only played flash games. But I saw sonic on itunes for the iPod, I don’t remember how it played but it was my first step into triple A games, I finished 7 times I loved it so much. Nothing can compare to it. Loved the vid :)
I’ve been binge watching your videos today so it’s perfect timing that you uploaded rn 👌
man this brings back memories of sitting on the school bus playing mini golf on my iPod nano 3rd gen.
Actually you would be very surprised about Sonic on the iPod. It didn't run as fast as it would on a Genesis, but it was so a non-issue and it play perfectly fine. My uncle downloaded Sonic for his classic iPod and it was awesome.
This channel is great, half of the topics I haven’t even heard of but he still makes it compelling to me. Ipod click wheel games? And a whole video about them?? Yes please!
Vortex was the GOAT of classic iPod games
7:46 this was REALLY A JOJO REFERENCE YESSSSS! OHHH MY GOD!
That is the level of JoJo reference we need.
"Im gonna take your Baby!" Billiam, 2019
There was this weird dating sim called surviving high school was actually well written from what I remember.
“Games you’d expect to find in an airplane in 2003”
Back in 2003 you didn’t have those TV screens on your seat unless you were flying first class,
I love your videos around the holidays because as a kid, that's when I'd get my hands on much of the media and toys you talk about. Peak nostalgia. Billiam is a Christmas movie. Let's discuss.
8:55 Ah yes, my two favourite characters from Lost. They had so many great memorable scenes. 🤣
i remember playing these games but i dont even remember owning an ipod
Missed the best one for the iPod. Square Enix Song Summoner
5:29 bro that is exactly how I play Tetris any time I make a bad mistake 😂
I thought you were gonna touch on Vortex. It was a bar that you used the touch weel to spin around the screen and make a marble bounce on bricks on the ceiling. if you didnt "catch" the marble on time and it fell in the abyss you lost. My favorite game :)
7:03 I love how the Apple logo is on the back of the cards
I remember that LOST game. I played that on my java phone, and i've never knew about the tv series until several years later
Billiam totally called the Scott Pilgrim rerelease!!
Digital Preservation is soooo important! I love hearing someone speaking on it!
the game I most remember playing on these devices was Song Summoner. It was a tactics RPG with units being built form the users song library.
My favorite was the music quiz because I was awful at it.
In middle school I had a bumass Tracfone I would play Worms:Armageddon on all the time.
what make it good and trendy the ipod was the great storage and the use of the AAC standart, it is a better compresion of the mp3 format, so that make possible having a shitton of songs on a single device, and also you could bought songs legally. it doesn't sounds as important but it was the doing it in the right way, if you don't belive me check the wrong way, microsoft zune.
There was a game called "Critter Crunch" where you need to feed a monster with bugs by combining them by colour and sizes, a lovely lovely one
Dude! I have sonic for the ipod! It was actually awesome, I remember I spent a lot of time playing it on the bus ride to middle school.
I actually like the ball and pad game that it came with. Was a pretty good pass time game and I often found myself playing for longer than I planned
Edit: The one that went in a full circle
Vortex, right?
@@poninefreak3321 Yeah I think that was the name. Pretty good use of the touch wheel
Clean your damn camera lens boy.
Can’t believe you missed out on all the motion controlled games from the later (but still pre touch screen) iPod Nanos
Yo that music quiz kept me entertained for HOURS back in the day. those were the days....
I had Song Summoner on my classic but it stopped working like 5 years ago :( it was neat, kinda like monster rancher where you could summon monsters with the songs in your library and use them to battle. I remember the battle system being sort of like fire emblem?
Preserving games eh?
Billiam should chat with Ross from Accursed Farms sometime
Right? I'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed that.
I played the masterpiece called Sonic 4 Episode 1 on a iPod touch

I loved Vortex on the ipod, personally. Like brick break, but round. The round control wheel actually worked really well as a control scheme.
You sir, are my hero. at 6:23, you are playing Cubis. A game i used to play on my moms PC when i was like 8. And for some reason, it popped back into my mind for no real reason. And i couldnt remember the name of it and it drove me crazy. And here, on a UA-cam video, i find my salvation. Thank you good sir.
Also good luck with only having 1 kidney now.
